The one s couple of weeks ago also affected Firefox: https://thehackernews.com/2023/09/mozilla-rushes-to-patch-webp-critical.html?m=1

Thanks! I've got a server at home for media stuff at the moment; I was going to throw the Home Assistant software on there too. I'll look into hubs, and hope that Phillips doesn't lock me out of my lightbulbs before that shows up.

I think what they're saying is that you can buy that hub and continue to use your existing Hue products. Or are you saying that you can currently use them through Home Assistant without that hub? I'm curious because I've got a bunch of Hue bulbs and I'm looking into swapping over to Home Assistant because of this license change, and it's not clear to me what I need in order to do that.

Boo, paywall. Anyone have a list of the affected airlines?

It's where we store our excess Freedom

Don't forget strong policies to keep everything from enshittifying all over again! Check out Cory Doctorow's thoughts from DefCon: https://youtu.be/rimtaSgGz_4?feature=shared

Because you can't monetize blog posts as effectively as you can videos :/

I hate it.

I know time got weird with the pandemic, but that was not actually before 1990, believe it or not.

The thing is, truth decay has been going on for a while now. 2016 was of course the year of "alternative facts," but even before then anyone with sufficient money and/or clout could redefine truth to some degree.

What we're going to see with ChatGPT and deepfakes is really just a democratization of truth decay: what was once the province of only a few will now be open to us all.

Enshitification

The Battlestar Galactica reboot should have ended after Season 2; 3 was meh and 4 was terrible.

Haha 2001 was my first thought, and Idiocracy was my second.

Yeah, I stay away from the nonstick stuff as well, for the same reason. Just thought that thinking of seasoning as a nonstick coating target than as something to be cleaned off might be helpful, though I totally get it if not.

What about if you think off it like Teflon on a nonstick pan?

Ah gotcha, I can understand how that might be a thing; cat iron is definitely something you treat differently than other dishes. There's a whole fascinating level of nerdery to proper seasoning, but it's definitely special cookware that doesn't fit the usual patterns.

Sorry, I wasn't clear. I understand how tides work; the source of my confusion is the person I replied to both stating that they don't exist and explaining how they work, which is mutually contradictory: if they don't exist, how can they work at all?

That's like saying sunrise doesn't exist because the sun is relatively stationary while the earth revolves on its axis. Sunrise and tides are the names we give to how we experience these things.

Subjective experience cannot be wrong or right; it simply is. Interpretation of that experience can be wrong or right. Either way, the experience still happened.

Well, this was when I was like 6 or so; I can't fault the school system.

I'm confused: you say there's no such thing as tides, and then explain what tides are?

I would think an enameled skillet would not provide any extra iron; the glass that the enamel is made of forms a barrier between the iron and everything else. That's nice because you don't have to worry about it rusting any more, but it also means no iron in your food.
